ISLAMABAD: Senator Shibli Faraz of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) claimed on Saturday that all his tax and business record had been stolen from his father’s house in Islamabad.
The senator said that he had inherited a house in F-7/2 from his father, renowned Urdu poet Ahmed Faraz, from where the documents were stolen.
The house was currently uninhabited and Faraz said he came to know about the missing documents on Saturday, but the burglary could have taken place a few days ago.
According to Faraz, the items missing were his tax records and business papers while the archives of his father and documents of the Ahmed Faraz Foundation had also been stolen.
The security guard of the house is also missing, the senator added.
The senator said that it didn’t seem to be a case of routine crime the burglars had only taken away his financial documents.
“Valuables such as watches, which could be of interest to any thief, were not stolen,” he said. “They didn’t even touch other valuables; just important documents were taken away. It seems whoever broke into the house was looking for something to blackmail me politically.”
Faraz has lodged a complaint against unidentified people with the Kohsar Police Station.
